Bravi! What a set a' Pipes Mary Honri had. Wow! Her dad was rather fantastic as well hoisting that large Haydn in the air like that and making it walk the dog. Thanks Leo, for it has just put a nice turn on the day.

Good Job. I play 'Off to California' into 'Bonaparte Crossing the Rhine 'as well. I learned it from a Peter Cooper Irish Fiddle Tutor. Are these two tunes usually played together?

Interesting...I just tried it and the tunes work in key relationshop (G/D) and have a nice, jaunty swagger together. There are "Tradies" who might look sideways at coupling an Irish hornpipe with what I am given to understand is a Scotish quick march. I'm all for it.

I agree it was fun to watch. But isn't 1933 too early for that to have been a Hayden? I can't tell what kind of concertina he's playing, but my guess would be a big Mccan duet.

Yes!

David Barnert · September 26, 2007

OK, my turn.

On Labor Day weekend I was at a camping event called the "Last Gasp" run by the Pickin' & Singin' Gatherin'. It's a group that has been around for about 30 years, and in addition to the yearly camping weekends has monthly sings and sessions. This year somebody had a video camera, and now I'm on YouTube.

My only appearance is from 3:51 - 4:19. I'm on the left, to the right of Joyce with the red sweater, with my back to the boat.

I mentioned this session in another thread a few weeks ago because of the Uillean pipes.

Thanks

Admirable feat to play "Off To California" in a round, particularly where the second voice enters. Bit early in the a.m. for me to feel this disoriented :blink: .

I'd love to learn the tune that Mark is playing in this clip

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0c4zZ_CHHM Can anyone help out with that?

Thanks,

Hi Molly

It's "the garden of daisies", a set dance. See the attached zip file in which the score, a midi and a txt/abc files.

Mark? On the page, he's identified as Chris. Do we have the right clip?

Note, however, that this is not quite the same version of the tune as played in the clip. Several subtle differences, the most significant of which is that the YouTube player (Chris? Mark?) plays no C#s. Most of the notes Henk notates as C# come out as C naturals, and some as B naturals. I don't know the tune (never heard it before just now), so I can't say with any authority whether one version is "more correct" than the other.

Thanks for your reply/comment David. I noticed the differences in the way Chris/Mark is playing. I never heard these variants on the Garden of Daisies before.

A very nice video (with dancing) is shown

i'm the person playing in this video. i was visiting my youtube addicted friend in new york and he wanted a video of my playing so he took the video using his computer's built-in camera and microphone.

i learned this setting of the garden of daisies from the bernard o'sullivan/tommy macmahon album "irish traditional music of county clare" which i had on cassette and was the first concertina album i owned. it is now available in the newly released boxed set "the clare set" on cd. the concertina i'm playing in the video is suttner #298, which is a standard 31-key A-2.

David Barnert · September 30, 2007

Well, nice playing, Chris. And always nice to put a face with a name (even if it's a "concertina face," which may or may not be the same as we look like when not playing).

Molly Roberts · September 30, 2007

Re: the Garden of Daisies

Thank you, Henk, for the title and the zip file, and David for the comments on the variation from the version as written. Apologies, Chris! Not sure where I got "Mark." I do very much like your version with the C naturals and am happy to hear where it came from. Now, off to learn the tune!

Cheers,

Molly
